Health insurance found it's way into the workplace when Companies began to offer it to Unions as a inducement to settle contracts during collective bargaining.

"Unions had nothing what so ever to do with health insurance. Everyone was responsible for their own heath care."

Bull shit. In the 80s, my father fought with his union against the company he worked for to keep and maintain medical coverage for those under him. All the while the company cried poverty... Yet could pay management multi six figure salaries and benefits.

It was only because of the union, that the workers kept their insurances.

"It was at one time the American way. You are responsible for yourself. The greatest country on Earth was built on this concept. Everyone understood it."

Now understand this, as you become greater, you accept obligations, the burdens of greatness. Fail to accept these burdens without complain or fight and we the people owe you nothing.

The health of your employees are but one obligation an employer owes to their employees. This is the civilized way of things and if to obtain this superior greatness, those like you must be brought to your knees by the voting force of the majority in this nation, the so be it.

Yes, this is me and many millions of US citizens dictating that if you want to be an American Citizen, much less a businessman, you have obligations to the man to your left and your right.

Why? Because we are the greatest nation on earth and that comes with the obligation to be more humane than the next lower nation. Health coverage without the risk of economic ruin is that humane act, if you are too cowardly or too greedy to accept this obligation, leave this nation now because you will not make this nation less civilized without destroying this nation in fire.

"During WWII there were wage freezes, imposed by the Federal Government. No one could go from one company to the next and get a higher pay raise, if you were going to be doing the same type of work. Companies found their loop hole. Offer paid health care. This is Human Resource 101."

Irrelevant, this is 2013, not 1944. Times change and only the disillusioned and the mentally unsound look tot he past for the path forward and to improved human civility. Otherwise we might as well bring back dueling with swords, and might makes right without risk of government intervention in our murdering each other.

At which point in time you and your family would be left on the side of the road by people like me who will forge civilized societies and leave those who destroyed what we had (those being you) to fend for yourselves... Fend off the attacks by those who would rape and pillage your person.

... everyone armed himself and paid for private transportation to the battle front, and then paid his own medical bills when wounded?

Amazing slice of history that I somehow missed.
